Are your state's standards world class?

Working with national experts who represent a broad spectrum of perspectives, Achieve compares a state's K–12 academic standards in English, math, science and social studies with the best standards from around the country and the world. The reviews focus on the standards' clarity, critical content, grade-to-grade progression and level of intellectual demand.

When Achieve undertakes a review, some of the questions we consider are:

• How useful a tool are the standards for teachers or parents?
• How do they compare with other states?
• If students meet the standards, will they be prepared?
• Do the standards appropriately describe grade-level material?
